Cultural Futures is a FREE funding, policy, and advocacy workshop for cultural businesses and supporters!
This spring, we invite you to join your local partners for Cultural Futures! Cultural Futures is Inspire Washington’s annual post-State Legislative Session tour when we visit communities to share what happened during the 2026 Legislative Session. It’s our job to alert you to new funding and policy opportunities.
On the agenda:
- We will provide the cultural sector with summary of 2026 state legislative session; including legislative wins and ongoing challenges, agency requests, state resources, changes to retail sales tax laws, and more.
- Provide summary of federal appropriations and legislative issues.
- New legislation and local funding opportunities.
- Promote Building for the Arts and Heritage Capital grant programs.
- Share resources for voter education events.
- Coach advocates on Cultural Access program.
- Hold community conversations to understand current industry challenges, interests, and opportunities. Information we receive will shape our 2027 State Biennium Agenda.
